We are a family-owned artisan miso company located at South River Farm in the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains in Conway, Massachusetts. We have been making hand crafted, wood fired, certified organic miso for over forty years according to a centuries-old, Japanese farmhouse tradition. This is miso making practiced in a time-honored way in an atmosphere where careful food preparation is considered fundamental to the healing arts.
The purpose of this site is not only to make our products easily available to visitors online, but to share with you what we have learned about miso, its nutritional properties and health benefits, and how to use it in your kitchen.
In these pages of our web site we also want to share a little bit of our story, so that you may know where your food comes from, how it is made, and who makes it.
Welcome to South River Miso!

South River Miso Company is located at South River Farm, in Conway, Massachusetts, nestled in a little valley in the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains. The South River flows north right through our property and three miles downstream joins the Deerfield River which, in several miles more, flows into the great Connecticut River, the Nile of New England.
The regional watershed, of which we are a part, is called the Pioneer Valley, with the five college area of Amherst and Northampton as our cultural center, about 20 miles south. It is truly a blessed place to live and work.
During the cooler months, we ship anywhere in the United States. The rest of the year, please visit your local grocer.
